Notice, we are dealing with a B230E -- not the "F" that we US Volvo people are used to. I don't know off hand how the "E" is configured but I'm pretty sure it makes more power than the F. The carbureted motor has an "A" suffix, as in B21A. On one job I used a mechanical fuel pump (have one now in stock) driven by the lobe on the auxiliary shaft. B230 motors may not have that lobe. On the other 2 I used the tank push-pump with a "T" before the carb with the excess fuel directed back to the tank via the cars own plumbing. Both systems worked very well. -- Dave
